What with the launch of Gundam Musou 3 around the corner, 4Gamer have a nice bit of coverage for the game’s pre-launch ceremony. From the announcement of background online matchmaking (where players can battle away in the story only to have the game seeking online gamers to help them out), to the unsurprising reveal of forthcoming DLC. The latter will feature two mobile suits, the GNX-Y901TW Susanowo (piloted by one MISTAH BUSHIDO) and the NZ-666 Kshatriya, as well as maybe a new level or two. Pricing and release dates for the DLC haven’t been finalised as yet though. The really classy aspect of the event was how Bandai had rolled out Harutoshi Fukui – author of the original novels – to help pimp the various Gundam Unicorn awesomeness that will be in the game. In the meantime, enjoy some more videos of the game in action.

“where players can battle away in the story only to have the game seeking online gamers to help them out”
If it’s anything like Musou 2, there won’t be any players to find in the first place.
I picked the game up the week of its release and found all of 3 people.
You’re thinking of the problem from the wrong angle–the reason why there wasn’t anyone playing Musou 2 online is because the online mode was, rather stupidly, limited to an entirely separate game mode which played nothing like anything you’d see in the Story Missions. Now that people can play the real game online, and not just this very slap-dash worthles online mode, there’s going to be a hell of a lot more people looking to smash up Zakus with their friends. After all, if you’re going to play a game about grinding, why not do it while being able to complain loudly about the efforts of your team members? It’s a formula that has worked for MMOGs.
Ah, I get ya now.
